I had an excellent run yesterday! I was prepared to run , but wasn't prepared to run outside in the cooler weather. So I hit the treadmill which I don't normally like to do.
After achieving my goal in 2014 of running an entire half-marathon with a average pace under 12 minutes per mile, this year I want to increase my speed to an average pace under 11 minutes. I've got 12 weeks to work on it. So, with the accomplishment of enduring the entire race under my belt, I have nothing to fear in regards to not finishing. I will be pushing myself.
On the treadmill yesterday, I started out at a 12 minute pace and with each new song I increased the pace one notch until I got to 10:57. I think I will continue with one treadmill day a week and use it as my speed day. Each time, I will start faster than the time before.
Today, I can celebrate making it to a new notch in my belt! That's exciting! Can't wait to weigh in Sunday morning. I've decided on my cheat meal. I'm going to my favorite brunch spot and having their signature french toast and a side of fruit with some decaf coffee. If I'm feeling further adventurous, I'll treat myself to a gelato in the evening.
An update on the Magnesium supplement and probiotic. Yesterday, I went three times. Is this normal, or do I need to cut back a little?
Onward...
